OBGYN,  's  Response
Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) As you have mentioned about your USG reports are suggesting a dermoid, I will suggest you to remove it by laparoscopy, preferably.

3 ) as you might be knowing that dermoid cyst is a benign condition, but needs to be surgically removed.

4 ) You can also get it confirmed by CT scan, and then plan for surgery. As such there is no medicinal treatment for it.

5 ) Although not common benign dermoid can grow in size and there can be risk of developing teratoma.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
